In the past weeks we have been revealing all the different elements and additions that will change with Together We Rule, like the Embassies, Agents or the Congress. Alongside the expansion, a new patch will arrive, Metternich Update, which will be free to everyone.
With only one week left before the launch, we thought, what if you could start trying the elements of the new patch? We are super glad to announce a Beta that will start today (4th of November) and will remain active until the 8th of November.
As we wanted to keep it short, here are the main changes that will arrive with the Metternich Update that you will be able to try on this Preview version.
- Stealth Rework: Stealth units will now be discovered gradually over time instead of instantly
- Changes to Independent People: Independent People will offer more varied treaties and should survive longer
- Third Party Reinforcements: You can give control of your units to an ally to reinforce them in battle
How to access this Beta
- Go to Steam Library > Right Click on Humankind
- Click on Properties > Betas
- Select "metternich_beta"
We’ve already had a closed beta and made many improvements based on it, but now we want to give all of you a chance to share your feedback. As you can imagine, with less than a week to release, we won’t be able to address a lot of changes from all your feedback, but it will be super important for future updates after release.
Before we finish, let’s do a small FAQ
- Can I keep playing my game after the end of the beta and the release of the patch? Yes, any game during this preview will be compatible after the release of the patch. If you are on the base game I will recomend to start a new game, to avoid any kind of problems, as there are quite a few changes.
- Dates Reminder From 4th of November to 8th of November
- Can I play on Epic Store? No, it is only available on Steam (Windows and Mac)
We have included on G2G the list of Known Issues as well.
Enjoy the beta ^-^
